I wore this out to dinner with my husband back on Sunday. I consider this proof positive that you can wear jeans (almost) anywhere, if you pair it right.  I could've made it more formal and worn it with a pencil skirt, or changed the shoes and made it less formal.
This is also indicative of what a good addition to your wardrobe can do for you.  If you can dress it up, dress it down, and take it to town, and it looks like a different outfit each time, it's a good addition.  If it'll only work with that one skirt that you only wear once a year to the company social, not so much.
